Product Maintenance Agreements

A
Milestone Product Maintenance Agreement (PMA) entitles
you to free access to product upgrades. The PMA is a
contract that runs 1 or more years at a time and is
purchased along with a new product, or if you purchase a
product upgrade.

A PMA protects your investment and gives you
control over the total cost of ownership.

Two strong arguments for choosing a PMA with your
product:

Stay on the technological forefront.
Get free access to all interim and major releases,
patches and device packs within your product category.
Lower the cost of growing your installation.
We will refund the
full purchase price* of your existing product
when you upgrade to a higher-level product (trade-in).
You only pay the difference!*

Plan ahead - save money

The price of a PMA is approximately 18% of the
recommended retail price of the XProtect products. By
selecting one of the long-term PMAs (2-5 year PMAs) you
can make considerable savings, and therefore optimize
your total cost of ownership even more.

How does a PMA work?

When buying an XProtect™ product license, you can
choose to buy a PMA at the same time. Under the PMA, all
upgrades are completely free of charge for one year. The
software upgrades are delivered electronically
throughout the year.

How long does it last?

You buy a PMA for up to 5 years at a time. PMA can
also be purchased on a daily basis to allow the PMA
period to run until a specific date. This is
particularly useful if the PMA renewals are to be
aligned with calendar or fiscal years, or if you want a
coherent PMA coverage on an extended system where
additional system components have been purchased in
addition to the original system. Before the PMA expires,
your Milestone partner will automatically receive
e-mails to remind you about renewal.

How is it purchased?

With new purchase: The PMA is only available
as part of a new product purchase and not as an add-on
to a product that has been purchased previously.
If a PMA is purchased, it must be purchased for the
base license and the camera licenses. a PMA can
not be purchased for just the base license or just the
camera licenses.
